Well its official, I’ve finally got some time to post an intro about myself on here. I’m usually busy but tonight is a small exception. I’m Jeremy from the local area of the tri-city region. I’ve been around for quite some time since when APG was just getting started back in early 1998. -My first car I really got into was a 95’ Honda del Sol Si. It had 2 paint jobs, the latter being Championship White. Also swapped in a B16A2 and managed to replace the top with a clear targa instead, and damn I miss it! -The next was a blue 92’ Civic Si but I only have one photo of it but gotta dig it up. Nothing crazy with it -I sold it shortly after I saw my next car being a '93 Nissan 240SX coupe. Lots of weight reduction was done to it along with a Nismo 2-way LSD, lowering, Recaro SRD seats, then later on Skyline R33 seats, and a Bee-R exhaust. Its sold to a local guy in Colonie. -The last thing is the '02 S2000. Parts are quite expensive for it but the handling is incredible! Someday the soft top will be removed for a hard top and then some CR parts to swap along too. Thats all for now. Take care. ---

Welcome! If your car is the one in the avatar then I’ve seen it around a bit, looks great. Local SCCA event happening next month, which the S2k is begging you to participate in :ninja If you want to upload photos of the HD, you can click on the bottom of the post where it says “attachments”, of if you have them uploaded on a server like photobucket then you can just press the “ ![http://shift518.gom-host.com/images/styles/silverblue/editor/insertimage.gif](http://shift518.gom-host.com/images/styles/silverblue/editor/insertimage.gif)” button above each post and just paste the link from the picture on another gallery. You can also just right click on the photo and click “copy” and then “paste” it in the reply, usually works :thumb ---

All his stuff is fake. Don’t believe him. This kid likes to rev his loud ricer exhaust in under ground parking garages under outlets and ruin peoples ear drums. Be ware. Hi Jeremy:hug. I miss our Club Quaker days. ---

Ha ha… That was pretty good there. Yeah, that R1000 sounded awesome under that parking garage but damn was it it too much for me. Great power and lightweight running no catylitic convertor but it was just too loud. Nice to see you on here BZNS. (I was trying to remember who you were for the longest time…) ---

Hey there RBakerian. Yep, I remember your Supra when I was driving along the backside of Saratoga that one day. I was headed over to Ben n’ Jerries with the wifey. Your car is very sweet lookin’! I can’t say I’ve seen very many Supras around anymore. But black cars just have the mysterious allure about them, kinda like Eldrid’s S2k. ---
